Every Dog Has It's Day

March has seemed to be going quickly. I didn't really have any big plans for Saint Patrick's Day. My mom's side of the family does have some Irish in them, but I don't think that I can consider myself Irish. I do think that it's fun to spend the holiday drinking Guiness and eating corned beef and cabbage every once in a while though.

The past couple of weeks have been fairly busy, and I've also been dog sitting for my Mom and step dad while they were out of town for a couple of weeks. Their dog is an older dog that they rescued from the pound, and he's really mellow so it was good to have him around for a while.

Also, I've enrolled in an advanced scuba diving class, but I'm still working on getting medically cleared due to a minor heart defect that I've had since I was a kid. It has never been a major problem, and I didn't seem to have any issues while doing the beginning dive class that I did a long time ago so I'm hoping to get cleared soon.

I am looking forward to diving again though. The advanced class seemed fun. The first class that I took I didn't get to see a whole lot of fish or anything like that because the visibility was really bad due to a red tide. Hopefully more exciting dive stories will come from this class.
